Thanks to a suggestion from Kainaat, I’m doing a quick dive into Keeravani, especially his Hindi soundtracks that I knew and loved without knowing they were him.
Continue readingGood Morning! I got coffee, I got a morning banana, I got a dog snuggled against me, let’s do this thing.
Continue readingWoot, Paheli won!!!! So we will watch that tomorrow morning at 8am Chicago time, unless no one shows up, and then I will go back to bed!
Continue readingWhat a nice coincidence! Amitabh’s birthday and Yashji’s birthday, both perfectly timed to post a collaberation.
Continue readingI’ve narrowed it down to two! Both on Netflix so you should all be able to see them. Both drippy and romantic and happy.
Continue readingFor a man who didn’t even kiss onscreen until a few years ago, he is really good at doing the sex eyes!
Continue readingI was going to do just straight sex scene sequences versus each other, but then I decided to go broader.
Continue readingWell, I still think the ending doesn’t work, but otherwise this is a really interesting film. Especially in the less obvious themes. Which, again, failed in the ending. Sigh.

And I already blew my idea for a post on not-so-scary songs that I just really like from bad horror movies back on Friday the 13th. I know there are a lot of them, especially in the last few years, but I don’t really watch them. So let’s see what I can do with what I have. (this is an updated and reposted post from last year)
